Joy Freeman

I became a Civil Marriage Celebrant in 2000 and have, over the past 17 years, had the privilege of marrying couples not only in Victoria, but also in NSW and Queensland and in places as diverse as the Buckrabanyule Memorial Hall, the Old Convent, Daylesford, a lecture theatre at RMIT Melbourne and an old shearing shed at Balranald NSW (complete with baa-ing sheep in pens!).

I live at Buckrabanyule in north west Victoria and many of my weddings have been in that general area: Ballarat, Bendigo, Boort, Carapooee, Charlton, Donald, Durham Ox, Mysia, St Arnaud and Wycheproof.

Every one of my couples is unique, as is every wedding I plan and perform for them.   My motto is: Your special day; your special way.

I have also conducted many funerals, generally in my local area, but also in Bendigo and in Melbourne; I present funerals not in the old traditional form but as the celebration of the loved one’s well lived life.

Since the recent changes to the Marriage Act I have chosen to be a Religious Marriage Celebrant, and I offer my services to, and look forward to hearing from, couples who share my traditions and beliefs.
